2013 NFL Season Thread

[Maxx]

Aaron Hernandez arrested and released from the Patriots.

The Patriot Way!

[TCO]

He's fucked now. Definitely the right move by the Pats.

Gonna be interesting if Brady has neither of his TEs this season

I'm kinda surprised he got released just with an arrest. Usually teams wait until a guy is convicted.

Charged with murder.

[Maxx]

He's been charged with murder, and 5 other gun related charges.

Give the people the whole story Damshow, GAWD

But I was first!

[livid]

Typical Ravens fan, failing to give the entire story in relation to a murder charge!

[Vendetta]

And now all those Florida Gators fans can shut the fuck up about Miami. None of Our players ever killed anyone and got caught.

[Meacon Keaton]

Ray Lewis got caught, just not convicted. Miami U is awful. Hush.

[HC]

Hernandez should dump his lawyer and hire Ray Lewis. I can just imagine him giving the judge some preachy sermon about second chances.

Even if he was found innocent, you really think Kraft and Belichick want a guy like this around after this whole ordeal?

I love how the people online who whined about the Ray Lewis coverage before the Superbowl are the same people talking about him now.

A guy like what? In that scenario, he'd be innocent so what exactly would be the issue?

[Maxx]

A guy who was clearly involved in, at the very least, an attempt to cover up a murder.

[livid]

That makes sense then. I haven't really been paying attention so I hadn't realized the extent of his obstruction.

Context is key here. The people "whining" about the Ray Lewis coverage didn't feel comfortable with a man who had been charged, although ultimately not convicted with first degree murder being glorifed as some type of hero and having to look at the cute little clips of him dancing on every channel. That clearly isn't the case in talking about him now.

For what it's worth, I have nothing against Ray Lewis. I'm sure as hell glad Baltimore won the Super Bowl, as I'd rather him have a ring than noted sore loser Jim Harbaugh. I believe he's certainly changed a lot since the time of the crime and matured greatly. At the same time, I'm not afraid to make mention of the murder charges, and it's not fair to act like they never happened.

I like how you added "and got caught" as if it's perfectly acceptable for your players to murder people so long as they get away with it.

But did he do it?

[Cactus Drags]

Man, I'm all for innocent until proven guilty, but Hernandez hasn't helped himself has he? From what I've read, police requested his phone and he gave ti to them in bits, the specific time frame they wanted footage from his security system was scrubbed and he hired professional cleaners to clean his house up immediately afterwards? He's basically clinging to the fact they've not found the murder weapon yet, right?

I hate the media coverage from guys like Peter King who tweeted "there's a reason he was picked 1125th (or whatever it was)", and all this stuff about the Patriots should have known better.
